The acclaimed actor reflects on the timeless wisdom of Ramana Maharshi, revealing the philosophy that continues to shape the way he sees humanity.
In an era where conversations often revolve around success, fame, and personal milestones, actor Adil Hussain chose to speak about something far more profound. During a recent conversation with Mamaraazzi, the celebrated actor opened up about a spiritual lesson that has stayed with him for years a lesson he says has deeply influenced the way he understands people and life itself.

Rather than discussing cinema or his illustrious career, Hussain turned the spotlight towards one of India’s most revered spiritual masters, Ramana Maharshi, recalling a teaching that, according to him, carries extraordinary power despite its simplicity.
“There’s this amazing saint that I have been extremely influenced by called Ramana Maharshi,” Adil shared during the interview.
The actor went on to recount an incident where someone had asked the sage a seemingly simple question: “How should we treat others?” Ramana Maharshi’s response, Hussain revealed, consisted of just three words:
“There are no others.”
Pausing to let the meaning sink in, Hussain reflected on the depth behind the statement.
“You see what I mean?” he asked, before explaining that the philosophy challenges the very idea of separation between people.
According to Hussain, the teaching reminds us that there is no real “other” person only a shared existence that connects everyone. “There’s nobody which is the other. It’s all within one,” he said, emphasizing the sense of unity that lies at the heart of the spiritual message.
The moment stood out as one of the most thoughtful exchanges of the interview. As the conversation continued, both Hussain and the interviewer acknowledged the elegance of the philosophy, with the actor describing it as something “so beautifully said.”
Known for bringing remarkable emotional depth to his performances across Indian and international cinema, Adil Hussain has often spoken about introspection and mindfulness. This latest conversation offered audiences a glimpse into the beliefs that shape the man behind the screen, revealing that his inspirations extend far beyond filmmaking.
In a world increasingly divided by differences, Hussain’s recollection of Ramana Maharshi’s words serves as a gentle reminder that compassion begins with recognizing our shared humanity. Sometimes, as the actor suggests, the most life-changing lessons are also the simplest.
And perhaps, in just three words “There are no others” lies an idea powerful enough to transform the way we see the world.
